Yep John - Miada Avondale has atlas stones there - but they are heavy as!!!! - 120kg+ 0_0 Not good for just giving them a try.

Some of the crossfit boxes have atlas stones - not sure how heavy/light though. Not sure which ones though - maybe CFNZ?

I remember reading a guide somewhere on how to make them, maybe Ontario Strongman?

*quickly searches*

Yep, check it out here. You'll need a bit of handyman ability, but it doesn't look beyond the realms of your average joe to make... I think even Nate might have had/made some in the past? Could be able to shed some light on it?

Can buy molds from Slaters in the States.....or go to a garden ornaments place that make the light ones and get them to make ones with concrete, be aware a full concrete one will weight 140-160kg for 20" mold, so need to put polystyrene in centre to displace some concrete.

What kind of movements can be done with a round 140kg peice of concrete? Like a farmers walk?
